What has benchmarking (I assume) code got to do with your claim in the subject that Python 3.6 crashes?  I have never known any other person make this claim.

So I'll repeat my question, does it segfault or does it give a traceback?

The thing that works perfectly all around the world except for one user, you.

It's quite clear that you're in another universe.  Unless of course you'd actually, for the first time ever, like to produce some evidence to support your claims.  I know that hell will freeze over before that happens.

So how many bug reports have you raised over the years to report the dreadful state of Python's unicode implementation?  What is the difference between you running vonLöwis.py and Terry Reedy running it?  What is the difference between you running vonLöwis.py and café.py?  Why are you incapable of running code that tens of thousands of users all around the world are quite content with, to the extent that Python 3.6 is widely recognised as the best ever version of Python?
